Phantasy Star Online 2 (ファンタシースターオンライン2) is a PC MMORPG developed by Online R&D and published by Sega, released in Japan in early 2012. A PlayStation Vita port was released in early 2013 and a PlayStation 4 version in 2016.
The game is one of the largest scale ever at Sega, from an investment as well as from a return perspective. It started development in 2008. It is planned to be supported for 10 years, with a constant in-house staff of 80 people post launch supporting the game with updates bi-weekly. It has been on track with the game performing well, being featured in almost everyone of Sega's financial report since its release. Plans for a western release were shelved after a Sega of America restructuring made the responsible producer leave the company, in its preproduction phase.[6][7][8]

Gameplay
The game is a true sequel to the original Phantasy Star Online (unlike Phantasy Star Universe) however it takes features from all of the series, including Phantasy Star Portable 2. It features a brand new combat system similar to hack and slash games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta with the ability to run and climb on enemies includes a revamp of the Ranger combat playing more like third person shooters such as Lost Planet and the return of MAGs.
Multiple party quests are also a new addition to the game, with multiple parties grouping together to succeed in difficult challenges (like raids in MMORPGs)

History
Alpha test
On Febuary 5th at the "Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity Nationwide Fan Thanks Festival 2011" Sega announced that the Alpha test would be available in Summer 2011 and purchasing a copy of PSP2 Infinity would give players a lottery code with the chance to gain access to the Alpha. Two days later Sega announced that having an active Premium Japanese Phantasy Star Universe account on certain dates would also allow users to also get a lottery code.
The alpha dates with 3 tests were as follows:
- August 18th, 16:00 ~ 23:00 [Test 1]
- August 19th, 18:00 ~ 23:00 [Test 1]
- August 23rd, 16:00 ~ 23:00 [Test 2]
- August 26th, 16:00 ~ August 27th 23:00 [Test 3]
After the alpha Sega of Japan announced that the game was delayed till 2012 after fan feedback to adjust the game in several ways.[9]
Second alpha test
Back in late November 2011, SEGA opened up Registrations for the second Alpha Test which closed entries on 17 January 2012. Afterwards SEGA announced a week later (on the 24th) which players were picked for the Alpha 2 through waves. The NDA was lifted for this alpha. Many new features and changes had been introduced: player shops, massive changes to the mission types and enemy spawn system and rooms were introduced to the alpha along with a brand new interface far more similar to Phantasy Star Portable 2. The amount of people who got in was far larger than the original. (23k players online consecutively at one point)
The test dates for Alpha 2 were as follows:
- January 27th, 16:00 to 23:00 JST
- January 28th, 18:00 to 26:00 JST
- February 1st, 16:00 to 23:00 JST
- February 3, 15:00 through Feb 4, 23:00 (32 hours continuously)
Beta test
Open beta began on 21 June 2012 as free-to-play. Open beta ended on 2 July 2012, in preparation for release on 4 July 2012. Characters created by players during open beta were carried over to the live servers.
The game was a success in its native market, with an update yearly. Currently it is on Episode 5.
